In the event the Buyer decides to make use of the Company’s facilities, utilities, water and sewer charges shall be paid directly to the applicable utility by Company and Buyer based on meter readings as of the Closing Date and at the prevailing rates, if possible; otherwise such charges shall be apportioned based on the number of days occurring before and after the Closing Date during the billing period for each such charge with appropriate subsequent adjustment among the Parties when bills are received.

(iv) Real and Personal Property Leases. The next payment due to lessors after the Closing Date with respect to any leased real estate, vehicles or Equipment that are assigned to and assumed by Buyer shall be apportioned between Company and Buyer based on the time in such period before and after the Closing Date.

(v) Deposits. Any Company Deposits which can be assigned to Buyer will be so assigned and Buyer will pay Company the full amount thereof, subject to claims by the particular utility or lessor for damages and other costs, expenses and charges accrued or resulting from actions occurring prior to the Closing Date.

(vi) Unearned Vacation Liability at Next Anniversary Date. The Company has a contingent obligation to provide additional vacation days at the employment anniversary date for its employees. As to those employees being hired by the Buyer, the Parties agree to preserve such Company benefits, through the first employment anniversary date following the Closing, by having the Buyer provide such additional vacation days on a one time basis (i.e., through the first such anniversary date following Closing), but with the Company reimbursing the Buyer for the prorated value of such contingent additional vacation days as to that period of time for each employee measured from the last employment anniversary date of each such employee through the Closing Date.

Appropriate cash payments by Company or Buyer, as the case may require, shall be made from time to time, as soon as practicable after the facts giving rise to the obligation for such payments are known, to give effect to the prorations required by this Section. The obligations imposed by this Section shall survive until all prorations are finally determined to be acceptable to the Parties.

(i) Post Closing Adjustments. During that period which commences on the Closing Date and ends on that day which is twenty (20) days from the Closing Date (the “Inventory Settlement Period”), the Parties shall mutually agree on any adjustments as of the Closing Date to the Inventory and, after such adjustments are mutually agreed to, the Buyer shall make the payment for Inventory required under Section 2(c)(iii) hereof. In order to complete any adjustments to the Inventory by the end of the Inventory Settlement Period, the Company agrees to deliver to Buyer at Closing or promptly thereafter, all current invoices for current on hand inventory, current count on hand by item, and vendor detail information, which invoices, counts and other vendor information is necessary for Buyer to compare the Company’s pre-close

Inventory count to Buyer’s post-close Inventory count. As of that date which is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Parties shall mutually agree on any adjustments as of the Closing Date to (i) the Receivables, (ii) Customer Prepayments, (iii) Unpaid Closing Liabilities, and (iv) any other adjustments related to the items contained in Section 2(h), and no later than fifteen (15) days thereafter the Parties shall mutually prepare and execute a statement (the “Settlement Statement”) setting forth any adjustments to the foregoing. Within five (5) days after completion of the Settlement Statement, Buyer shall remit to the Company, in immediately available funds, the balance of the consideration, or in the event of any overpayment of the consideration by Buyer, the Company shall reimburse Buyer in the amount of such overpayment as follows: (A) if the amount of such overpayment obligation is $500,000 or less, the Company shall deliver cash to Buyer in the full amount of such overpayment obligation; (B) if the amount of such overpayment obligation is greater than $500,000 but less than that amount equal to $500,000 plus the unpaid balance of the Promissory Note, the Company shall deliver cash to Buyer in the amount of $500,000, with any balance of such overpayment obligation satisfied through an offset against the unpaid balance owed by Parent to Company under the Promissory Note; or (C) if the amount of such overpayment obligation is greater than that amount equal to $500,000 plus the unpaid balance of the Promissory Note, the overpayment reimbursements required under subsection (B) above shall first be made, with any overpayment obligations still remaining unsatisfied then reimbursed by Company to Buyer through the delivery by Company to Buyer of that amount of additional cash necessary to pay in full such overpayment obligations. Within five (5) days after completion of the Settlement Statement, the Parties shall prepare (or, if already prepared and agreed to, shall amend) an allocation of the purchase price pursuant to Section 2(j) hereof (or, if already prepared and agreed to, to make such allocation consistent with such adjustments). Each party hereto shall pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Settlement Statement.

(j) Allocation of Purchase Price. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be treated for tax purposes as a taxable transaction under the Code. The Parties agree that the allocation of the Purchase Price shall be mutually determined by the Parties and shall be allocated among the assets and the Restrictive Covenants (set forth in Section 6(c)) in a manner consistent with the requirements set forth in Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder. Such allocation will be binding on the Parties for federal income tax purposes, and will be consistently reflected by each Party on their respective federal income tax returns. The Parties agree to prepare and timely file all applicable Internal Revenue Service forms reflecting such allocation, and to furnish each other with a copy of such forms upon request.

(k) Assignment of Contracts. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment of any claim, contract, license, franchise, lease, commitment, sales order, sales contract, supply contract, service agreement, purchase order or purchase commitment if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto (other than the Company), would constitute a breach thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer thereunder. If such consent is not obtained, the Company shall cooperate with the Buyer to the extent necessary to provide for Buyer the benefits under such claim, contract, license, franchise, lease, commitment, sales order, sales contract, supply contract, service agreement, purchase order or purchase commitment, including enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of the Company against a third party

thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation by such third party or otherwise; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to cooperate shall not impose on the Company any obligation to take any actions which would result in a material violation by the Company of any of the foregoing agreements.

(l) No Expansion of Third Party Rights. The assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities, and the transfer thereof by the Company, shall in no way expand the rights or remedies of any third party against the Buyer as compared to the rights and remedies which such third party would have had against the Company had the Buyer not assumed such liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities shall not create any third party beneficiary rights.

(m) The Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Franklin & Company, L.L.C. in Spring Hill, Florida, as soon after all closing conditions set forth in Section 7 hereof (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing or post-Closing) have been satisfied or been waived in writing but in no event shall the Closing occur later than March 31, 2006 or, in the event of unforeseen circumstances which result in the delay of the Closing, no later than by April 7, 2006. The date of the Closing is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” The Company shall deliver to the Buyer a ▇▇▇▇ of Sale and the Assignment and Assumption of Contracts in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively, and such other deeds, bills of sale, endorsements, assignments, releases and other instruments, in such form as is satisfactory to the Buyer and as shall be sufficient to vest in the Buyer good and marketable title to the Purchased Assets free and clear of all Liens and shall deliver to the Buyer immediate possession of the Purchased Assets.

(n) Successor Liability. The transaction contemplated by this Agreement is a purchase and sale of assets and not a de facto merger of the Company and Buyer. Buyer is not a successor in interest to Company, and neither the Company nor any owner, manager or officer of Company shall have any participation in the ownership of Buyer following the Closing Date. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, Company and Buyer agree that Buyer shall not assume or become liable for any of the Company’s debts, liabilities, or obligations of any kind existing as of the Closing Date or thereafter incurred by Company, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent, mature or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, or accrued or threatened, including, without limitation, any accounts payable of the Company related to the business of the Company or otherwise, other than the Assumed Liabilities.

All covenants herein shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until performed, subject to any applicable statute of limitations and other restrictions

or limitations in such covenants. Any claim for indemnification asserted with reasonable specificity within the applicable survival period shall survive until finally determined.

(b) Indemnification.

(i) Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in this Section 8, Company shall indemnify, defend and hold Buyer and its Affiliates harmless from any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, fines, penalties, Taxes, costs and expenses, including all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and the costs, fees and expenses incurred to collect or enforce any judgment or other relief granted (collectively, “Losses”), which Buyer may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to: (a) the breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Company in or pursuant to this Agreement or in or pursuant to any other agreement, document or instrument delivered by Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) any lawsuit, claim, or proceeding of any nature arising on, prior to or after the Closing, relating to the Company’s business or the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing, including but not limited to any contract claims, customer damage claims or warranty claims pertaining to or arising under any of the Assumed Contracts prior to the Closing (the liabilities described in this subsection (b) are collectively referred to as the “Pre-Existing Claims”); (c) the acts or omissions of the Company or its officers, directors, managers, members, employees, licensees, contractors or agents occurring prior to the Closing (the liabilities described in this subsection (c) are collectively referred to as the “Pre-Existing Company Specific Obligations”); or (d) any obligation to pay, satisfy or perform any liabilities or obligations of the Company arising prior to the Closing, and the Indebtedness For Borrowed Money of the Company, the Excluded Liabilities, and any other liabilities not expressly assumed by Buyer (the liabilities described in this subsection (d) are collectively referred to as the “Excluded Obligations”).

(ii) Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in this Section 8, the Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company from, against and in respect of, any Losses which the Company shall suffer or incur as a result of or relating to: (a) the breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Buyer in or pursuant to this Agreement or in or pursuant to any other agreement, document or instrument delivered by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) any lawsuit, claim, or proceeding of any nature relating to the business or Purchased Assets operated by Buyer after the Closing; (c) the acts or omissions of the Buyer or its officers, directors, managers, members, employees, licensees, contractors or agents occurring on and after the Closing; or (d) any obligation to pay, satisfy or perform the Assumed Liabilities or any other liabilities or obligations expressly assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

(iii) Any claim for Losses will be set forth in a written notice providing reasonable detail of the nature, scope and basis of such Losses along with any reasonably available supporting documentation. To the extent any Losses are covered, without dispute, under an applicable and enforceable insurance policy or policies, such Losses

shall be considered recoverable only to the extent not covered and not paid for pursuant to such insurance policy or policies.

(iv) Promptly after the assertion by any third party of any claim, demand or notice (a “Third Party Claim”) against any Person or Persons entitled to indemnification under this Section 8(b) (the “Indemnified Parties”) that results or may reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence by such Indemnified Parties of any Losses for which such Indemnified Parties would be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Parties shall promptly notify the Parties from whom such indemnification could be sought (the “Indemnifying Parties”) of such Third Party Claim provided, however, that failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. Upon receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right, upon written notice (the “Defense Notice”) to the Indemnified Parties within 20 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Parties of notice of the Third Party Claim (or sooner if such claim so requires) to conduct, at their own expense, the defense against the Third Party Claim in their own names or, if necessary, in the names of the Indemnified Parties; provided, however, that:

A. the Indemnifying Parties must provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Parties that the Indemnifying Parties possess the financial resources necessary to defend the Third Party Claim and to satisfy the Third Party Claim, if adversely determined;

B. the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and not injunctive or other equitable relief; and

C. the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Third Party Claim properly assumed by the Indemnifying Parties or to participate (subject to the direction of counsel to the Indemnifying Parties) in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be included as part of any Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party.

The Party or Parties conducting the defense of any Third Party Claim shall keep the other Parties apprised of all significant developments and shall be authorized to enter into any settlement, compromise or consent to judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim only with the consent of the other Parties which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any claim for indemnification with respect to any matter that is not timely made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement may not be pursued and will be deemed to have been irrevocably waived.

(c) Limitations on Indemnity. The rights and remedies under this Section 8 shall be the sole and exclusive rights and remedies of the Parties on account of any claims arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby other than claims for injunctive or equitable relief. No special, punitive or consequential damages shall be imposed on any Party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum aggregate amount which an indemnitee may recover from an indemnitor in respect of

all claims under this Agreement, shall be an amount equal to Five Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,200,000).

(d) Other Limitations. Anything to the contrary contained in the preceding provisions of this Agreement notwithstanding, except for indemnification claims by Buyer against the Company under Subsection 8(b)(i)(b) as to any Pre-Existing Claims if the Company had actual or constructive knowledge of such Pre-Existing Claims prior to the Closing, under Subsection 8(b)(i)(c) as to any Pre-Existing Company Specific Obligations if the Company had actual or constructive knowledge of such Pre-Existing Company Specific Obligations prior to the Closing, and/or under Subsection 8(b)(i)(d) as to any Excluded Obligations if the Company had actual or constructive knowledge of such Excluded Obligations prior to the Closing (collectively, the “Claims Not Subject to Threshold”), (i) no indemnification under this Section 8 shall be made by the Company in favor of the Buyer, or by Buyer in favor of the Company, as the case may be, unless the total of all such claims (excluding Claims Not Subject to Threshold if the Company had actual or constructive knowledge of such claims prior to the Closing) for indemnification exceed in the aggregate $104,000 (the “Indemnification Threshold”); provided, however, that once such threshold amount is exceeded the Company shall indemnify the Buyer, or the Buyer shall indemnify the Company, as the case may be, for the total amount of claims including the $104,000 Indemnification Threshold; and (ii) the obligation of (A) the Company to indemnify the Buyer and (B) the obligation of the Buyer to indemnify the Company, as the case may be, as to all indemnification claims (excluding Claims Not Subject to Threshold) shall be extinguished upon the payment under this Section 8 by the Company to the Buyer or the payment by the Buyer to the Company, as the case may be, of an amount in the aggregate equal to $5,200,000 (provided however any payment by Buyer of amounts constituting Excluded Liabilities shall not be included in the Indemnification Threshold or otherwise limit the Company’s liability or be applied against the Company’s aggregate limit of liability). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Buyer be required to exceed the Indemnification Threshold before collecting from the Company any amount owed by the Company to the Buyer as a post Closing adjustment pursuant to Section 2(i), and in no event shall the Company be required to exceed the Indemnification Threshold before collecting from the Buyer any amount owed by the Buyer to the Company as a post Closing adjustment pursuant to Section 2(i). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the limitation imposed by the Indemnification Threshold shall not be applicable to any of the Claims Not Subject to Threshold if the Company had actual or constructive knowledge of such claims prior to the Closing, and in the event any Claims Not Subject to Threshold for which the Company had actual or constructive knowledge prior to the Closing become known to Buyer or otherwise arise on and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to make an indemnification claim against the Company pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof without first having to exceed any threshold amount and, if successful, shall be able to collect from the Company the full amount of any Losses resulting from any such Claims Not Subject to Threshold without reduction. Any indemnification claim that qualifies both as a claim that could be asserted by Buyer under Subsection 8(b)(i)(a) and as a claim that could be asserted by Buyer under Subsections 8(b)(i)(b), 8(b)(i)(c) and/or 8(b)(i)(d), shall be treated for all purposes as a claim included within the definition of “Claims Not Subject to Threshold”. The term “constructive knowledge”, as used in this subsection, shall mean and include such knowledge of all of the facts and circumstances as would reasonably be known to any reasonably diligent and prudent person carrying out the shareholder, director, officer and/or employee duties of any such positions held by such person, with the Company deemed to have

such actual and constructive knowledge as is possessed by all of its shareholders, directors, officers and employees.

(e) Offset Against Promissory Note. In the event the Company becomes obligated to the Buyer pursuant to an indemnification claim made by Buyer against Company under this Section 8 or under any other sections of this Agreement (including but not limited any post Closing adjustments under Section 2(i) which result in an additional payment obligation on the part of the Company), Buyer shall have the right to cause Parent to make offset against amounts due Company from Parent under the Promissory Note, provided, however, that the Company can avoid any such offset, at Company’s election, by making payment to Buyer in cash of the full amount owed to Buyer within five (5) days after receiving written notice from Buyer that Buyer intends to have Parent make such offset (the “Offset Notice”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than with respect to an offset intended to collect unpaid amounts owed by the Company to Buyer as a result of a post Closing adjustment under Section 2(i) (which offset shall not be subject to dispute, objection or arbitration), prior to Buyer causing Parent to make an offset against amounts due the Company from Parent under the Promissory Note, Buyer shall first deliver an Offset Notice to the Company at least forty-five (45) days prior to the effective date of any offset, which notice shall state the effective date of such offset and provide a summary of the reasons why such offset is being made. During the thirty (30) day period commencing on the date the Offset Notice is delivered to the Company (the “Objection Period”), the Company shall be given the reasonable opportunity by Buyer, if appropriate under the facts and circumstances, to make a reasonable attempt to cure the situation giving rise to the offset claim and to state, in a writing delivered to Buyer prior to the end of the Objection Period, the reasons why the Company objects to such offset (the “Offset Objection Notice”). The Buyer in its reasonable discretion may also agree to have its representatives meet with the Company’s representatives, during the Objection Period, to further discuss the Company’s reasons set forth in the Offset Objection Notice. At the end of Objection Period, the Buyer, in its sole discretion, may: (1) either accept or partially accept such reasons, and modify or reverse its decision to cause an offset to be made, or (2) reject such reasons and proceed with having the Parent make the offset as of the effective date set forth in the Offset Notice but in any event will give the Company a response, provided, however, that in the event Buyer causes Parent to make an offset to which the Company has timely objected by delivery of an Offset Objection Notice to Buyer within the Objection Period, any such offset may be disputed by the Company in an action commenced under Section 8(f) hereof, with such offset confirmed, modified or reversed in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 8(f) hereof.

(f) Arbitration. In the event a dispute arises between Buyer and Company regarding this Agreement or any document executed in connection herewith, the Parties shall submit their dispute to non-binding mediation in Hillsborough County, Florida. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of submission of the dispute to non-binding mediation, then either Party, may submit the dispute to binding arbitration in Hillsborough County, Florida and the arbitration proceeding shall be subject to the following requirements:

(i) Any controversy arbitrated by the Parties shall be arbitrated by a single arbitrator if the amount of the controversy is less than or equal to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). If the amount of the controversy between the Company and Buyer is greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) then the arbitration shall be

conducted by a panel of three (3) arbitrators. Within fifteen (15) days after submission of the dispute to binding arbitration, the Parties shall mutually agree on an arbitrator if the controversy is to be arbitrated by a single arbitrator in accordance with this paragraph. If no agreement on an arbitrator is reached within said fifteen (15) day period, then the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and shall be from, if available, the “Commercial Arbitration Panel” employed by the AAA. If more than one arbitrator is required to conduct the arbitration, then the arbitrators shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of the AAA, and shall be from, if available, the “Commercial Arbitration Panel” employed by the AAA. The Parties intend that this agreement to arbitrate be valid, specifically enforceable and irrevocable.

(ii) Within ten (10) days of the presentation of the Parties claims to the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall issue its written decision.

(iii) In the absence of fraud, gross misconduct or an error in law appearing on the face of the order or award issued by the arbitrator, the written decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties.

(iv) The arbitration proceeding shall be carried on and heard in accordance with the Commercial Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association.

(v) The prevailing party shall be entitled to have all of its costs and expenses (including without limitation expert witness expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees) of investigating, preparing and presenting such arbitration claims or cause of action (collectively, the “Prevailing Party Expenses”). The arbitrator shall approve the award to the prevailing party of Prevailing Party Expenses but, rather than determine the amount of the award in such arbitration proceeding commenced hereunder, shall instead ask that the applicable court include in its judgment for the prevailing party an amount to fully compensate the prevailing party for all of such Prevailing Party Expenses as determined by such court.

9. Termination.

(a) Termination of Agreement. The Parties may terminate this Agreement as provided below:

(i) the Buyer and the Company may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to the Closing;

results primarily from the Buyer’s breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement); (C) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before April 15, 2006, by reason of the failure of the Company to obtain any required governmental or third party consent (unless the failure results primarily from the Buyer’s breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement (other than failure of the Buyer to have received financing to pay the Transaction Consideration, the failure of such conditions precedent shall be without liability to either Buyer or Seller)); or (D) there is a loss, damage or destruction to the Purchased Assets which in the aggregate exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price; and

(iii) the Company may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Buyer at any time prior to the Closing (A) in the event the Buyer has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, the Company has notified the Buyer of the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of 30 days after the notice of breach or April 15, 2006, whichever is earlier; (B) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before April 15, 2006, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent to have occurred under Section 7(b) hereof, other than failure of the Buyer to have received financing to pay the Transaction Consideration, the failure of such conditions precedent shall be without liability to either Buyer or Seller (unless the failure results primarily from the Company’s breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement); or (D) there is a loss, damage or destruction to the Purchased Assets which in the aggregate exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price.

(iv) The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time if the Closing does not occur by April 7, 2006.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida (i.e., without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Florida or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida). Each of the Parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in Hillsborough County, Florida, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such court.
